Good morning, Hopkinton! Welcome to the daily update we call Hopkinton Today — a quick recap of yesterday’s news, highlights of what’s on tap, and a video or two to brighten your morning.

The Hopkinton Police Department announced that there was an unarmed robbery of the Dunkin’ at 78 West Main St. on Saturday night. The suspect was described as a white male between 5-foot-7 and 6 feet tall, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, tan winter gloves and a black face mask. Anyone with information is asked to contact the HPD.

The town’s latest COVID-19 update shows 55 active cases. That’s the town’s highest mark since early May.

Norman Khumalo, Hopkinton’s town manager, and Estela Shingleton, bank manager for Webster First Federal Credit Union’s Hopkinton branch, were elected to the 495/MetroWest Partnership Board of Directors for terms to begin in 2021.

Last week we posted a poll asking readers their opinion on whether or not the billboards on Hayden Rowe Street should be preserved as historic structures. The result: a resounding no.

Town meetings tonight include the Parks & Recreation Commission (5:30) and Zoning Advisory Committee (7).
